Portulacaria afra prostrata， also known as \"Trailing Elephant Bush\" or \"Dwarf Elephant Food，\" is an intriguing， low-growing succulent that creates a beautiful ground cover with its spreading habit. This plant typically reaches only 6 inches tall but can spread up to 4 feet wide， making it perfect for filling up garden beds or cascading over the edges of containers. It is remarkably drought-tolerant and easy to care for， requiring little maintenance once established. Its small， shiny green leaves and its ability to thrive in a range of soil types make it a versatile and popular choice for gardens or as a bonsai specimen. If you're looking for an eye-catching and hardy ground cover， Portulacaria afra prostrata might just be the perfect plant for you.
